EXPLANATORY NOTE TO

POST-EFFECTIVE AMENDMENT NO. 1

On September 10, 1991, Amgen Inc. (the “Company”) effected a three-for-one stock split of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), in the form of a 200% stock dividend (the “1991 Stock Split”). In addition, on each of August 15, 1995, February 26, 1999 and November 19, 1999, the Company effected a two-for-one stock split of its Common Stock in the form of a 100% stock dividend (collectively, together with the 1991 Stock Split, the “Stock Splits”). Pursuant to Rule 416(b) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the registrant hereby amends its Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 33-39104), filed on February 25, 1991, to reflect that, as a result of the Stock Splits, the number of shares registered for issuance under the Amgen Retirement and Savings Plan (the “Plan”) increased from 200,000 to 4,800,000. Such Registration Statement is further amended to reflect that, in accordance with Rule 416(a) of the Securities Act, the number of shares registered shall include such additional shares that may be issued from time to time pursuant to such Plan as the result of any future stock split, stock dividend or similar adjustment of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock.
